Meta, the parent company of Facebook, was fined approximately €1.2 million in Brazil for failing to ensure equal treatment of presidential candidates during the election campaign. President Lula da Silva's team accused Meta of manipulating algorithms to favor Flavio Bolsonaro, although judges found no evidence of deliberate interference. Following Lula's election victory, he pledged to strengthen social media regulations. Meta denied the allegations, citing technical issues and claiming compliance with judicial requirements. The electoral court criticized Meta for lacking transparency and providing incomplete information. Bolsonaro, after refusing to accept his electoral defeat, has moved to the U.S. amid a police investigation.
